Watch! Rasha Thadani's Hand-In-Hand Ramp Walk With Ibrahim Ali Khan: 'Better Than Sara & Janhvi', Say Netizens

At Day 8 of India Couture Week 2025 in Delhi, debutants Rasha Thadani and Ibrahim Ali Khan turned showstoppers for designer JJ Valaya and quickly became the talk of the town. The duo walked hand in hand on the ramp with remarkable poise, earning wide praise from fashion lovers and netizens alike.

Rasha and Ibrahim's show-stealing couture

For her show, Rasha donned a statement black lehenga featuring intricate gold and multi-hued embroidery. Her sheer blouse and bralette combo brought in a touch of contemporary edge, while her dupatta was draped cape-style, letting the outfit's craftsmanship shine. Ibrahim matched the regal tone in a classic black velvet sherwani with Pathani-style bottoms.

Netizens laud Rasha's ramp walk

Soon after the show, social media was flooded with reactions applauding Rasha's graceful ramp presence. One user wrote, “So confident so elegant, Rasha slaying on ramp ❤️😍.”

Another comment read, “Her walk is so, so much better than Sara and Janhvi.” A third added, “She is literally better than most actresses of her age.”

This comes just a day after Sara Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor faced criticism for their ramp walks at ICW Day 7. Viewers said they looked "disinterested", triggering fresh discussions online about the difference between models and Bollywood actors on the runway.

Even Janhvi Kapoor, though improved in her ICW 2025 appearance for Jayanti Reddy, has often faced scrutiny for her walks in past shows. Against this backdrop, Rasha's poised debut felt like a breath of fresh air for many.

JJ Valaya's regal collection

Titled "East", JJ Valaya's collection for Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 is inspired by the Western imagination of the East. As per FDCI, it weaves together textures and silhouettes from the Far East, Balkans, and India, featuring a rich palette of silks, brocades, velvets, and organza.

The line blends history, romance, and global craft, and Rasha-Ibrahim’s showstopper moment brought it to life with just the right mix of tradition and modernity.
